Century Career Center presenters reported that the city and county redevelopment commissions each provided $100,000 toward culinary and other lab renovations, including commercial equipment, lighting, and instructional audio-video upgrades. They also described a student construction project at 2520 Stadium Drive, undertaken with the redevelopment commission, expected to generate about $15,000 for scholarships when sold. The board received presentations on career and technical education and multilingual learner services; the latter noted that a previously available refugee grant had provided more than $103,000 but was not offered to Indiana school districts this year. No additional contract awards or vendor selections were identified.
